Hey fellas, Just picked up an M3 wheel with DCT paddles to retrofit into my lci e90 with no paddles. Found the amazing DIY to do the retrofit, and started pricing everything out at Tischer, So all the actual connectors are reasonably prices, 1.50/2.00, But then I get to the Female bushing contacts, and this just bursts the bubble.

BMW wants 3.00 for every single individual one. One connector with a simple strand of wire, 26 male and 26 female are needed for the harness. This little DIY project just broke the bank. At this rate I may as well just buy the BMS Retrofit!

Any Idea where to buy just the contact bushings, I can connect a wire myself, I cant imagine a box of 10 costing more then a few dollars

from there, either buy those 10 packs or see if you can get google to find similar pictures and go from there.

Yeah, I was going to suggest Digikey. Or probably even eBay.

I ran into this problem before.. BMW wanting 3 dollars a connector. Everyone is right find out which one and go to mouser. Buy 200 for 10 dollars. LOL
